White Sex on a Black Child is Deadly! Will you help her?

I am working the Ariana-Leilani case: Ariana-Leilani has been suffering for five years from untreated Severe Chronic Neutropenia (SCN). SCN is a rare potentially fatal low immunity condition (like AIDS) that can lead to her death in as little as 18 hours from a common infection.   The experts believe that, based on the tests done to date, her severe chronic neutropenia is caused by drugs.  However, she has yet to receive any testing for drugs in her system in the five years she has suffered from SCN, nor even given a urinalysis.   In 2010, the German Government requested the District’s aid in getting her life saving GCSF medicine and an independent medical and psychological evaluation; but, that request also remains unsatisfied.  Instead, the various agencies of Mayor Gray’s administration cower in fear claiming that they do not have authority to protect – let alone investigate -- this DCPS student, 10 year old African American Ariana-Leilani.

Mayor Gray’s administration’s systematic inaction protects powerful and influential (mostly white) adults in Washington DC who are engaged in the abuse and neglect.  It is no coincidence that DC’s Attorney General and his stable of attorneys have been leading the charge to run interference for these individuals, claiming the administration is a toothless tiger in protecting a child who is regularly present at her school with concerning physical symptoms.
The evidence that drugs are causing Ariana-Leilani’s condition is supported by: 1) the recent DCPS Key School school photos that clearly show she has extremely dilated eyes (indicating drug in her systems) and 2) DCPS’s own IEP reports that show behavior that point to the same.  The DCPS’s own IEP reports – which are written by DCPS personnel – tell the story of how Ariana-Leilani stares into space, she only speaks about the past outside of school, she has accidents while in school, and she went from a high performance learner five years ago to a child with a “learning disability” who struggles to keep up to her peers.  The 2011 DCPS IEP for Ariana-Leilani disclosed that:

The student demonstrates behaviors that are atypical for her age (wetting herself, significantly overreacting to events). Several behaviors are distracting and prevent her from focusing and learning (singing to self, talking about unrelated topics during a lesson, gazing at the ceiling).  The student talks readily about things that happened years ago, but is secretive about much that goes on in her life currently. She also struggles to handle her emotions and interact with peers.
A ten-year-old child being seriously ill, without relief for five years and showing aberrant behavior “atypical for her age” strongly suggests abuse and neglect, particularly involving drugs (such as those used to facilitate and cover up abuse, like Benzodiazepine which also has a side effect of Severe Chronic Neutropenia).  A child with Severe Chronic Neutropenia of undetermined cause (due to lack of testing for the most likely cause) and a parent drugging a child is not a “custody matter”  -- no matter who is perpetrating it.  But that is the cop-out that your administration uses to avoid fulfilling its responsibility to Ariana-Leilani.

Ariana-Leilani King-Pfeiffer is a dual German and US citizen with only a German Passport, and is currently sleeping in a queen sized bed in a 500 square foot one bedroom walk up apartment with her father, who is a German citizen making over $160,00 per year. The German Government made a formal request to the US State Department in 2010.   The German Government asked for assistance in getting Ariana-Leilani life saving medicine and an independent medical and psychological evaluation.  That request was forwarded to the District of Columbia.  The District of Columbia has thus far failed to provide any of the assistance that the German government requested.

Why is it okay for a white man to drug his black daughter? Why is it okay for a white man to sexually abuse her? Why is it okay to share her with other men? Why is it okay for the DC Government to turn a blind eye to her suffering? What are you prepared to do to help her? Truth has come to you!

Our Assignment (the resurrection of the mentally dead Black Man and Woman) will require the Nature, Skills and Mentality of a Warrior.


Our assignment will move us from one battle to another.  Adversity is inevitable our enemy observes all progress. God will mentor us in warfare. The scriptures says “He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.” Psalm 18; 34 “Praise the Lord, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle.” Psalm 144:1.

A warrior only uses the weapons that never failed him. David rejects the weapons of other while fighting Goliath.

A warrior refuses to use the armor and weaponry of others who had failed before him. The tactics of the civil rights are old and out dated can’t use at all.

A warrior knows he has something his enemy fears.  Our unity puts fear in the enemy, when we are organizing with the love of the Brotherhood and sisterhood.

A warrior knows the true source of his competence and confidence. The True God has brought us this far and he refuses to leave us now the spirit of our ancestors are following us, we have a Rendezvous with Destiny! 

A warrior knows that the power of God is greater than the enemy’s weapon. In the scriptures it states “Thou comest to me with a sword and a spear and with a shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of host the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou have defied”  One learned believer can put to flight 10 men! Holy Qur’an & Samuel 17; 40

A warrior often uses, in his greatest battles, the skills developed in his daily routine. What we do daily to survive will come in handy

A warrior expects to be an instrument in the hands of God to destroy his enemy. David said “This day the Lord will give you into my hands. I will knock you down and cut off your head. This day I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth. Then all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.” 1Samuel 17:46 Allah said in the “It was not you who destroy them it was I who destroyed them by your hands” God will use us to destroy this wicked enemy! The world will know that the Black Man and Women in America are directly from the God and he walks with us!

A warrior expects his enemies to fall and he publicly predicts his victory. “This day the Lord will give you into my hands. I will knock you down and cut off your head.” 1Samuel 17; 46 “When those who hate me turn away, they fall and are lost from you. For you have stood by my right actions you sit on your throne, and are right in how you judge.  You have spoken sharp words to the nations and have destroyed the sinful. You have thrown out their name forever and ever. Those who fight against you are finished forever. You have destroyed their cities. They will be remembered no more. But the Lord lives forever. He has set up His throne to say who is guilty or not. He will punish the world by what is right. He will be fair as He rules the people. Psalm 9;3-5,7 We must speak that hard core truth to power and to our people spare NONE! We were taught the Fall of America!

A Warrior stays on the offensive running toward his enemy. Then the Philistine rose up and came to meet David. And David rushed to the center of the valley to meet the Philistine. 1 Samuel 17;48 Brother Fred Hampton said ” When these mother fuckers go we go” We must never take a step backwards we continue to attack call out the wicked and these dump Negros none will be spared!
A warrior expects the spectators of the battle to observe and experience the power of God. When our people see us and hear us battle this enemy they will be in awe of the things they will hear us say and the things they see us do. It will empower them to do the same, remember you first heard the truth of Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X and Minister Farrakhan people said he must be God talking about the enemy like that bring that raw truth.

A warrior keeps vibrant memories of the past victories. David said to Saul, “Your servant was taking care of his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock, I went after him and fought him and saved it from his mouth. When he came against me, I took hold of him by the hair of his head and hit him and killed him. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear. And this Philistine who has not gone through our religious act will be like one of them, for he has made fun of the armies of the living God.” 1Samuel 17; 34-36 we don’t forget the victories tell them and let our people experience the victories through our stories it will empower them to do the same.

A warrior ignores the opinion of the obvious losers and failure around him. We can’t let the fears of cowards stop us from our righteous mission. We must challenge the forces of evil and we must learn from the failures of the past and not repeat the same thing. Cowards can never be an advisor to the warrior; it will lead to your death. “Patience has its limits take it too far and its cowardice” G. Jackson

A warrior pursues saviors and celebrates the rewards of every victory.  The men of Israel said, “Have you seen the man who has come out? He has come out to stand against Israel. The king will make the man who kills him rich. And he will give him his daughter, and make his father’s family free from paying taxes in Israel.”  Then David said to the men standing by him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away Israel’s shame? For who is this Philistine who has not gone through the religious act of the Jews? Who is he, that he should make fun of the armies of the living God?” And the people answered him in the same way, “This is what will be done for the man who kills him.”

A warrior keeps his promise to destroy his enemy’s. Then David ran and stood over the Philistine. He took his sword out of its holder and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their strong soldier was dead, they ran away. We must destroy all the enemies of the Black Nation, we must never forget them and serve them with Justice, and they have earned it!

A warrior unashamedly displays the spoils of the past victories as trophies of thanksgiving. So when David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner brought him to Saul with the Philistine’s head in his hand. 1samuel 17:54 we will have earned our freedom and damn it, we shall be proud of it!

A warrior creates his own museum of memories to celebrate his victories. David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem. But he put his battle-clothes in his tent.  We must show our victories so other may learn the price we have paid to.  

A warrior knows that the defeat of his strongest adversary will cause his other enemies to flee. Then David ran and stood over the Philistine. He took his sword out of its holder and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their strong soldier was dead, they ran away.  There is only one man that can rule at any time when we take this bastard out then our other enemies will straighten up but there will be no safe haven for them we will find them and destroy them, to the Glory of our God and our ancestors!

A warrior knows that when he is Victorious, the discouraged around becomes encouraged and energized.  The men of Israel and Judah rose up and called out and went after the Philistines as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron. The dead Philistines lay on the way from Shaaraim as far as Gath and Ekron. We get bolder by seeing boldness. We get stronger by seeing strength.  I hear you talking strong then I can talk just as strong I see you living strong then I can live strong!

Somebody else needs to see you win! Preparation is the key to successful warfare. Our assignment (to raise the mentality dead Black Man and Woman in America) will require the nature, skills and mentality of a Warrior! Truth has come to you!

For those who teach from the bible, better start teaching the people right!

Every Tragedy Can Be Traced To An Ignored Instruction By God!


If You Rebel Against Your Assignment (the Resurrection of the Mentally Dead Black Man and Woman), God May Permit Painful Experiences To Correct You!

Every Tragedy Can Be Traced To An Ignored Instruction By God!

God Will Not Be Ignored!

God can create painful experiences, unforgettable experiences. Jonah is a perfect example. He rebelled against God’s instructions to” arise, go to Nineveh, that great city and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me”, instead he rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord and went down to Joppa; and found a ship going to Tarshish.  After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship was about to break up. And they threw Jonah out of the boat and then Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights before he came to his senses and accepted his Assignment. Never misjudge God! Never think that he will ignore tiny acts of defiance. Discipline comes, reaction comes.

Look at the life of Joshua. When Achan rebelled and kept some of the spoils of war, they lost the first battle of Ai. In a single day, their reputation was stained, and Joshua’s men lost total confidence. Achan had ignored the command of God. Consequently, the entire nation suffered defeat until obedience became their priority again.

Look at Saul:  Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the LORD sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the LORD. This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they ambushed them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” Saul captured Agag alive. Saul let Agag live, but he killed all the men in Agag’s army. Saul and the Israelite soldiers felt bad about destroying everything. So they let Agag live. They also kept the fat cattle, the best sheep, and the lambs. They kept everything that was worth keeping. They didn’t want to destroy those things. They destroyed only what was not worth keeping. Then Samuel received this message from the LORD: “Saul has stopped following me, so I am sorry that I made him king. He is not doing what I tell him.” When Samuel came near to Saul, Saul greeted him and said, “The LORD bless you! I have obeyed the LORD’S commands.” But Samuel said, “Then what is that sound I hear? Why do I hear sheep and cattle?” Saul said, “The soldiers took them from the Amalekites. They saved the best sheep and cattle to burn as sacrifices to the LORD your God. But we destroyed everything else.” Samuel said to Saul, “Stop! Let me tell you what the LORD told me last night.” Saul answered, “Tell me what he said.” Samuel said, “In the past you didn’t think that you were important, but the LORD chose you to be the king. So you became the leader of the tribes of Israel. The LORD sent you on a special mission. He said, ‘Go and destroy all the Amalekites. They are evil people. Destroy them all! Fight them until they are completely finished.’  So why didn’t you listen to the LORD? You did what the LORD said is wrong because you wanted to keep what you took in battle.” Saul said, “But I did obey the LORD! I went where the LORD sent me. I destroyed all the Amalekites. I brought back only one—their king Agag. And the soldiers took the best sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the LORD your God at Gilgal.” But Samuel answered, “Which pleases the LORD more: burnt offerings and sacrifices or obeying his commands? It is better to obey the LORD than to offer sacrifices to him. It is better to listen to him than to offer the fat from rams. Refusing to obey is as bad as the sin of sorcery. Being stubborn and doing what you want is like the sin of worshiping idols. You refused to obey the LORD’S command, so he now he refuses to accept you as king.” Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned. I did not obey the LORD’S commands, and I did not do what you told me. I was afraid of the people, and I did what they said. Now I beg you, forgive me for doing this sin. Come back with me, so I may worship the LORD.” But Samuel said to Saul, “I won’t go back with you. You rejected the LORD’S command, and now the LORD rejects you as king of Israel.” When Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught Samuel’s robe. The robe tore. Samuel said to Saul, “In this same way the LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today. When one person is out of the will of God, everyone around that person must pay the price for it. They learned that with Jonah in the ship and they threw him over board so they may live.

When we get the wrong people out of our lives, then the wrong things will stop happening. Remember the waves of yesterday’s disobedience will splash on the shores of today for a season. If we are walking in contradiction to God’s laws, expect painful experiences on the road ahead. Pain is corrective in Psalm 65 – 72 LORD; you did good things for me, your servant. You did what you promised to do. Give me the knowledge to make wise decisions. I trust your commands. Before I suffered, I did many wrong things.  But now I carefully obey everything you say. You are good, and you do good things. Teach me your laws. People full of pride made up lies about me. But I keep obeying your instructions with all my heart. Those people are so stupid that they care for nothing, but I enjoy studying your teachings. Suffering was good for me; I learned your laws. Your teachings are worth more to me than a thousand pieces of silver and gold.
Pain will force you to look to the word of God for answers. Pain will force you to learn where you went astray. Pain will birth you into a new reality. The pain of the death of Brother Trayvon Martin is because we are instructed to Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues, for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she said in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judged her.

We better wake up and understand that these people are not our friends and that White Supremacy must die and Black inferiority must die! Every White person is under the death sentence and that can be your mother regardless of the color of your skin if you have the mind of Satan your color is of no value!

Do not misunderstand the hurting seasons. They birth the healing process remember if you rebel against your assignment, God may permit painful experiences to correct you!
                                                          
                                                              Truth has come to you

Lord Grant Me the Courage to Change the things I Can, This is Our Road Map to Freedom By Our Hands and God's Blessings


"We are at war! Our survival as a people is at stake. We all are going to be tested in this autumn. America is living on borrowed time. Time for talk is over! To be free sacrifice must be made! Blood must flow if we are to be free." Minister Louis Farrakhan

The masses of our people are on a Death March into the oven of social deterioration, broken homes, broken marriages, broken minds, broken spirit, evolving from a string of broken promises by government and leadership that has failed to help our people turn around the misery and wretchedness of our condition. The knowledge to correct the horror of our condition is among us.

The potential force and power to cause us to rise as a people is among us. The finance to fuel our rise is also among us. The challenge facing all of us is to rise above the things that have kept us divided in the past, by focusing us on the agenda of creating a better future for our people to see how all of us, with all of our varied differences, can come together and direct our energy, not at each other, but at the condition of the reality of the suffering of our people, that we might use all of our skills, gifts and talents to create a better world for ourselves, our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

It is time for us to stop thinking and acting solely on behalf of our churches, mosques, temples, synagogues and organizations. It is time for us as leaders to come together and begin to think, plan, and act on behalf of the whole of our people. Each of us has gradually come to the conclusion that no one organization or leader can solve the many problems we face.

All of our leaders and organizations have done the best it could working on its agenda and programs – yet, our people are slipping further behind. I have come painfully to the conclusion that we need each other desperately. Allah (God) has given us gifts, skills and talents that must be gathered, harnessed, organized and structured in a way that will enable us to lift our people from where we are to where Allah (God) wants us to be. This is the challenge of the time. Within us is the will to do this, however, our will must be fed by the insatiable desire to see our people, free, justified and equal with the best in civilized society. Therefore, it is proper that we seize this moment in time, recapture the spirit of the million man, women, youth and family marches, and make the necessary sacrifice to save ourselves and our people. All of our leaders, teachers and guides who have paid the ultimate price have led us to this moment; all of our people who have died hoping for a better day have led us to this moment; all of those whose hope is lost, who are dying in the streets of America, the homeless, the sick and diseased, those imprisoned, our political prisoners, our veterans, our youth locked in a culture of death, the jobless, the destitute, the forlorn, the abandoned, have led us to this moment in time.

The future of our people depends upon our ability to mobilize.

VISION
There is no better time to mobilize and organize our people locally, and, put systems in place that will permit a successful programmatic thrust to bring to fruition what we envision for ourselves and our people.

MISSION
 Toward this end, we must gather the best, brightest and most willing minds to mobilize and organize our people, and to develop short and long range plans and programs for: 1. Spiritual and moral development 2. Educational development 3. Economic development 4. Political development 6. Social development 7. Cultural development 8. Health development. To develop the systems necessary to bring these plans and program initiatives to fruition. We must develop strategic alliances to further our aims. We must never form an alliance from a position of weakness, but, rather from a position of strength. We must forge unity with the struggle of the African Union to develop Africa, with the Caribbean, Central and South America, with the Isles of the Pacific, and with our Native American Brothers and Sisters. We must develop a skills bank, the talent of which should be used in the development of our people in the United States and World Wide.

"We are here to put our foot so DEEP in the behind of the WEAK and the WICKED!"MLF

DEMANDS
We must demand an end to police brutality and mob attacks.
We must demand an end to the lack of adequate health care and substandard education.
We must demand an end to racial profiling, the herding of our young men and women into prisons and the biological and chemical warfare being perpetrated against our people.
We must demand reparations.
We must demand that America take the appropriate steps to help in the repair of the damage done to the descendants of slaves for 300 years of slavery, 100 years of segregation, and 50 years of the misuse and abuse of governmental power to destroy Black organizations and leaders that have over the years been working to heal the condition of nearly 40 million of our people in America. To this end, Christians, Muslims, Hebrews, Jews, agnostics, nationalists, socialists, men, women and youth are coming together in agreement that the time is now for us to articulate our demands, and to accept our responsibility to change the condition and reality of our lives. Even though we petition the government, our covenant must first be with our Creator and with each other.

We were taught that our word must be our bond. When we break our word we destroy the life of the covenant or the agreement that we have made. It is absolutely necessary that as leaders we must build trust among ourselves. We can only build trust when we strive to keep our word, particularly a solemn agreement or covenant that we make with each other and with our people. Ever since our fathers set the soles of their feet in the western hemisphere, particularly since the ending of chattel slavery, many promises have been made to us as well as to others by the Government of the United States of America that have been broken because those who have given their word to us and the Native Americans had no intentions of fulfilling what they put on paper as a treaty or what they wrote as a law where we are concerned. Every gain that our leaders and their followers fought bled, and even died to give us, while we celebrated the success of the agreement or the law, the process began to erode and destroy the life of that agreement.

Therefore, it is wise and prudent that we make a covenant among ourselves as leaders and make a covenant or solemn agreement with our people that we sign, and, in signing declare in our hearts and publicly that our word shall be our bond. In so doing, we as leaders can create the spirit of unity in our people. Then, we need not make a demand. Our unity will command our presence at whatever table, in whatever forum we decide to be a part of and gain for us whatever we desire for our people.

Our presence here is to bury the attitude of those who founded America in their short-sighted vision. What will we leave our children if not a nation and land to build upon? We're not here to march. We're here to unite for the purpose to build a future. A new nation is coming in. MLF

COVENANT
This is the written covenant with God that is found in the Word of God in the Bible, "If my people which are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from heaven forgive their sins and heal their land." II Chronicles Chapter 7 verse 14. The burden is on us to fulfill our part. The Qur’an teaches this truth similarly in these words, "Allah will never change the condition of a people until they change within themselves. Family the burden is on us to change our behavior; to build love, trust and confidence in each other and in our people for us, then, 95% of our problems shall have been solved. We, as leaders must declare that we will never sell out the aspirations of our people for personal wealth, position and advancement in the society of our former slave masters and their children. We must make a covenant with our people to work and sacrifice and be willing to be the good shepherd (leaders) who will lay down our lives for our people. Let us accept our responsibility and change our behavior to that, which will make us more than comrades and brothers, but a behavior that will make us friends and companions in the struggle for the total liberation of our people here and wherever we are found on this earth.

"Freedom means we have to go to work... Sitting around begging others is not the answer. "It our Genesis... It must start with land and farming." MLF

Promotes job creation, economic growth, and sustainable development and improved standards of living for all our people by working in partnership with businesses, universities, communities and our nation’s workers. The department touches the daily lives of our people in many ways, with a wide range of responsibilities in the areas of trade, economic development, technology, entrepreneurship and business development, environmental stewardship, and statistical research and analysis. To be competitive in the global marketplace, the Commerce Department works to strengthen the international economic position of the Black Nation and facilitates global trade by opening up new markets for our goods and services. Here at home, the Commerce Department promotes progressive business policies that help our businesses and entrepreneurs and their communities grow and succeed. Cutting-edge science and technology at the department fosters innovation, and a focus on research and development that moves quickly from the lab to the marketplace generates progress and new 21st century opportunities. No matter where businesses are in their lifecycle, whether just getting off the ground or looking to expand into overseas markets, the Commerce Department is singularly focused on making our companies more innovative at home and more competitive abroad, so they can create jobs. The Commerce Department also provides effective management and monitoring of our people's resources and assets to support both environmental and economic health.

Ministry of Health and Human Services
Mission is to enhance the health and well-being of our people by providing for effective health and human services and by fostering strong, sustained advances in the sciences, underlying medicine, public health, and social services. Our number one priority will always be to protect the health of our people and provide essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves.

This is what is being done in Nashville TN and needs to be done in all Cities in America. This is our ticket to liberty. It took the Mormons 3 years to produce a full functioning city and 53 years to produce a full functioning State. Now in this modern time how long will it take us to produce our cities and States? Almost every city has a China Town or Greek Town that is Separate but apart and it functions by their rules and regulations. When is the last time you have seen China Town in the news about crime or protesting something or talking about bad public education? They have their own and now we must create our own!

So when we come to a city instead of finding the ghetto let’s find Free Town or Black Unity City and be free to be around our people living free and in peace. This is real and we will bring it to past the more cities that hook up with us will bring more trade and jobs we will create our industries. Remember the Hon. Elijah Muhammad did it! Marcus Garvey did it! Father Divine did it! China town is doing it! We must do it!

Don't ever forget this: Sankara, a charismatic army captain, came to power in Burkina Faso, in 1983, in a popularly supported coup. He immediately launched the most ambitious program for social and economic change ever attempted on the African continent. To symbolize this rebirth, he even renamed his country from the French colonial Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, ‘Land of Upright Men.
WE MUST DO THE WORK OF UP RIGHT MEN!

Satan will offer you anything to sabotage our Assignment of the resurrection of our people

Here are the 3 most effective bait strategies Satan will use: 1 He may use the bait of fame and glamour 2: Satan may use the bait of finnancial possessions 3: Satan often uses the bait of sexual seduction.

The resurrection of our people is the thing that Satan does not want at any cost. He will use bait to take us from our assignement. Anything that distract you is bait. What can delay your pursuit of God daily is bait. What detours you from your calling is bait. What has the potential to destroy your faith is bait. We must never linger in the presence of those who do not respect our assignment. 

When the wrong people leave you right things will begin to happen. Our friends affect our future so we must be careful about the people we considers friends. Each relationship feeds a weakness or a strenght. Every relationship is a current that sweeps you toward your assignment or moves you away from it. Some relationships can damage you irreparably, that's why the scriptures say "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them" (Ephesians 5:11). We have to have relationships that multiply our wisdom " He that walk with the wise men shall be wise but a companion of fools shall be destroyed" (proverbs 13:20). The prupose of wisdomis to disconnect us form the wrong people for the lord gives wisdom to deliver us from the way of the evil man and to deliver us from the strange women.

It is our personal responsibility to inspire others to assist us in our assignemt. We must develop our speaking skills and make every conversation count. We must cultivate conscienceness and clarity when alking to others. Remember the quality of our questions will determine the quality of our discoveries.

Thank you for reading these few words.

This is what we must do in order to survive the Fall of America


"We are at war! Our survival as a people is at stake. We all are going to be tested in this Autumn. America is living on borrowed time. Time for talk is over! To be free sacrifice must be made! Blood must flow if we are to be free." Minister Louis Farrakhan

The masses of our people are on a Death March into the oven of social deterioration, broken homes, broken marriages, broken minds, broken spirit, evolving from a string of broken promises by government and leadership that has failed to help our people turn around the misery and wretchedness of our condition. The knowledge to correct the horror of our condition is among us. The potential force and power to cause us to rise as a people is among us. The finance to fuel our rise is also among us.

The challenge facing all of us is to rise above the things that have kept us divided in the past, by focusing us on the agenda of creating a better future for our people to see how all of us, with all of our varied differences, can come together and direct our energy, not at each other, but at the condition of the reality of the suffering of our people, that we might use all of our skills, gifts and talents to create a better world for ourselves, our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. It is time for us to stop thinking and acting solely on behalf of our churches, mosques, temples, synagogues and organizations. It is time for us as leaders to come together and begin to think, plan, and act on behalf of the whole of our people. Each of us has gradually come to the conclusion that no one organization or leader can solve the many problems we face.  All of our leaders and organizations has done the best it could working on its agenda and programs – yet, our people are slipping further behind.

I have come painfully to the conclusion that we need each other desperately. Allah (God) has given us gifts, skills and talents that must be gathered, harnessed, organized and structured in a way that will enable us to lift our people from where we are to where Allah (God) wants us to be.

This is the challenge of the time. Within us is the will to do this, however, our will must be fed by the insatiable desire to see our people, free, justified and equal with the best in civilized society. Therefore, it is proper that we seize this moment in time, recapture the spirit of the million man, women, youth and family marches, and make the necessary sacrifice to save ourselves and our people. All of our leaders, teachers and guides who have paid the ultimate price have led us to this moment; all of our people who have died hoping for a better day have led us to this moment; all of those whose hope is lost, who are dying in the streets of America, the homeless, the sick and diseased, those imprisoned, our political prisoners, our veterans, our youth locked in a culture of death, the jobless, the destitute, the forlorn, the abandoned, have led us to this moment in time.

The future of our people depends upon our ability to mobilize.

VISION

There is no better time to mobilize and organize our people locally, and, put systems in place that will permit a successful programmatic thrust to bring to fruition what we envision for ourselves and our people.

MISSION

Toward this end, we must gather the best, brightest and most willing minds to mobilize and organize our people, and to develop short and long range plans and programs for:

1. Spiritual and moral development 2. Educational development 3. Economic development 4. Political development 5. Social development 6. Cultural development 9. Health development

To develop the systems necessary to bring these plans and program initiatives to fruition. We must develop strategic alliances to further our aims. We must never form an alliance from a position of weakness, but, rather from a position of strength. We must forge unity with the struggle of the African Union to develop Africa, with the Caribbean, Central and South America, with the Isles of the Pacific, and with our Native American Brothers and Sisters. We must develop a skills bank, the talent of which should be used in the development of our people in the United States and World Wide.

"We are here to put our foot so DEEP in the behind of the WEAK and the WICKED!" Minister Louis Farrakhan

DEMANDS

We must demand an end to police brutality and mob attacks.
We must demand an end to the lack of adequate health care and substandard education.
We must demand an end to racial profiling, the herding of our young men and women into prisons and the biological and chemical warfare being perpetrated against our people.
We must demand reparations.
We must demand that America take the appropriate steps to help in the repair of the damage done to the descendants of slaves for 300 years of slavery, 100 years of segregation, and 50 plus years of the misuse and abuse of governmental power to destroy Black organizations and leaders that have over the years been working to heal the condition of nearly 40 million of our people in America. To this end, Christians, Muslims, Hebrews, Jews, agnostics, nationalists, socialists, men, women and youth are coming together in agreement that the time is now for us to articulate our demands, and to accept our responsibility to change the condition and reality of our lives. Even though we petition the government, our covenant must first be with our Creator and with each other.

We were taught that our word must be our bond. When we break our word we destroy the life of the covenant or the agreement that we have made. It is absolutely necessary that as leaders we must build trust among ourselves. We can only build trust when we strive to keep our word, particularly a solemn agreement or covenant that we make with each other and with our people.

Ever since our fathers set the soles of their feet in the western hemisphere, particularly since the ending of chattel slavery, many promises have been made to us as well as to others by the Government of the United States of America that have been broken because those who have given their word to us and the Native Americans had no intentions of fulfilling what they put on paper as a treaty or what they wrote as a law where we are concerned. Every gain that our leaders and their followers fought, bled, and even died to give us, while we celebrated the success of the agreement or the law, the process began to erode and destroy the life of that agreement.

Therefore, it is wise and prudent that we make a covenant among ourselves as leaders and make a covenant or solemn agreement with our people that we sign, and, in signing declare in our hearts and publicly that our word shall be our bond. In so doing, we as leaders can create the spirit of unity in our people. Then, we need not make a demand. Our unity will command our presence at whatever table, in whatever forum we decide to be a part of and gain for us whatever we desire for our people.

"Our presence here is to bury the attitude of those who founded America in their short-sighted vision What will we leave our children if not a nation and land to build upon? We're not here to march. We're here to unite for the purpose to build a future. A new nation is coming in." Minister Louis Farrakhan


COVENANT

This is the written covenant with God that is found in the Word of God in the Bible, "If my people which are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from heaven forgive their sins and heal their land." II Chronicles Chapter 7 verse 14. The burden is on us to fulfill our part. The Quran teaches this truth similarly in these words, "Allah will never change the condition of a people until they change within themselves."

Family the burden is on us to change our behavior; to build love, trust and confidence in each other and in our people for us, then, 95% of our problems shall have been solved. We, as leaders must declare that we will never sell out the aspirations of our people for personal wealth, position and advancement in the society of our former slave masters and their children. We must make a covenant with our people to work and sacrifice and be willing to be the good shepherd (leaders) who will lay down our lives for our people. Let us accept our responsibility and change our behavior to that which will make us more than comrades and brothers, but a behavior that will make us friends and companions in the struggle for the total liberation of our people here and wherever we are found on this earth.

"Freedom means we have to go to work... Sitting around begging others is not the answer. "It our Genesis... It must start with land and farming." Minister Louis Farrakhan

The Nine Ministries to Build a Nation: 1. Health & Human Services, 2.  Agriculture, 3.  Education, 4.  Defense, 5. Art & Culture, 6. Trade & Commerce, 7. Justice, 8. Information and 9. Science & Technology.

Through these 9 Ministries will solve all our problems that we face as a community and we must duplicate this in all cities for the total liberation of our people.

The Truth about who Killed Brother Malcolm X


The key to understanding Malcolm's assassination is the last year of his life. He spent over half of it outside the United States, on four separate trips abroad. In his Autobiography Malcolm tells the well-known story of his transforming April l964 Hajj to Mecca, where he experienced a profound unity of worship with Muslims of every race, including those "whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white." The Autobiography says little, however, of Malcolm's July 9 to November 24, l964, travels through Africa, an equally important story he was saving for a book he didn't live to write.

The purpose of Malcolm's tour of Africa was to internationalize the plight of Afro-Americans in the U.S. Malcolm went first to Cairo, where he attended the African Summit Conference and appealed to the delegates of 34 African nations "to help us bring our problem before the United Nations, on the grounds that the United States is morally incapable of protecting the lives and the property of 22 million African-Americans." Malcolm wanted to unmask the U.S. government at the United Nations. He was taken seriously in that purpose by African heads of state and by his own government. U.S. intelligence agents followed him closely, as can be seen from CIA and FBI documents. Malcolm was acutely aware of the surveillance, which was made obvious by the agents in order to intimidate him. At the Cairo conference Malcolm collapsed with stomach pains and was rushed to a hospital. His stomach was pumped, and he survived. The doctors told him he had consumed "a toxic substance" at dinner. They ruled out food poisoning. Malcolm thought he had been poisoned by the same forces that were shadowing him. He then wrote an open letter to friends in Harlem in which he said:

"You must realize that what I am trying to do is very dangerous, because it is a direct threat to the entire international system of racist exploitation ... Therefore, if I die or am killed before making it back to the States, you can rest assured that what I've already set in motion will never be stopped...Our problem has been internationalized (Malcolm X, By Any Means Necessary)."

Malcolm continued his human rights campaign for African-Americans for four and a half months throughout Africa, speaking before huge crowds in nation after nation, dogged everywhere by the CIA. Malcolm's friend, the writer Louis Lomax wrote: "By then the CIA was following Malcolm's every move; agents were aboard every flight he took, other agents watched his hotels and even kept him under surveillance during meal time" (Louis E. Lomax, To Kill a Black Man). Malcolm told his sister, Ella Collins, that he narrowly avoided another poisoning in Ethiopia.

On February 9, l965, twelve days before his assassination, Malcolm X was barred from visiting France on another speaking trip. When his plane landed, the French government without explanation ordered him to leave the country. Malcolm believed the State Department was responsible. After Malcolm's death, journalist Eric Norden discovered the reason why France had barred Malcolm. Norden was told by a North African diplomat that "his country's intelligence apparatus had been quietly informed by the French Department of Alien Documentation and Counter-Espionage that the CIA planned Malcolm's murder, and France feared he might be liquidated on its soil." The diplomat then commented in elegantly modulated French: "Your CIA is beginning to murder its own citizens now."

On the day before his assassination, Malcolm X phoned Alex Haley and told him why he was going to stop saying that it was the Muslims who were about to kill him. He said: "I know what [the Muslims] can do and what they can't, and they can't do some of the stuff recently going on."

Malcolm then made a final remark that Haley thought "an odd, abrupt change of subject" but which may have been no change of subject at all: "You know, I'm glad I've been the first to establish official ties between Afro-Americans and our blood brothers in Africa." Malcolm knew that was the real reason his life had been targeted. And he had no regrets.

But there may have been a second reason. Continuous FBI and CIA surveillance had discovered that Malcolm was exploring an even more startling alliance than his ties with African leaders, a collaboration with Dr. Martin Luther King. On February l4, l965, Malcolm and Martin conferred on the phone. Their conversation was described by William Kunstler: "There was sort of an agreement that they would meet in the future and work out a common strategy, not merge their two organizations, but that they would work out a method to work together in some way. And that led to the bombing of Malcolm's house that evening in East Elmhurst and his assassination one week later."

As those who were monitoring their communications knew, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were moving toward an alliance that would have shaken the system to its foundations. Both were targeted.

Stop blaming the Nation of Islam and let's punish the guilty party! These same bastards killed King and both Kennedy Brothers! Truth has come to you!

hey all, thanks for a great meeting today. lots of follow ups from there coming soon (karina, can you email me the notes you took?) this note was passed to me before the meeting. we didn't have time to read it, but i thought i'd type it out and send to everyone. working with white allies will be on the agenda at our next meeting. We wish to express solidarity with the People of Color Working Group.  We want to make it clear that we are not trying to sit in on the meetings, and acknowledge and respect the importance of safe space and a people of color only group.  We see the need for white people to become actively involved in dismantling the pervasive racism at Occupy Wall Street and in greater society.  We intend to form an ally group and hope for it to be in direct communication with the People of Color Working Group.  Please send any feedback, concerns, suggestions or criticism.  We would like to meet with you in person, if anyone is down.  Please call us.

In love and solidarity,

subject POC-OWS Undemocratic methods in Occupy Tulsa.
mailing list  

Important mainly because of the words in the message.

I am a Native American/Chicano leader in Tulsa and I joined the local
group from the beginning. I helped explain Facilitation, Consensus
Decision Making and Mediation/Conflict Resolution to the group and was
elected to head up an Outreach Committee. Then I posted my thoughts on
having accountable leadership and was immediately attacked by a woman
leader (she bought the OccupyTulsa.com web page) and who has a history
of disrupting groups in this city. Then she blocked me from the main
Facebook page and even the Open Discussion Facebook page. Of course I
cannot post anything to the web site. Then this man, Samuel Molik, who
claims to be a friend of Chris Hedges, came up with a justification
for blocking me: I should not question the No Leadership model, handed
down from OWS. I should also apologize for contacting other leaders
about this. I said, while I support the goals of the OWS, we in Tulsa
have the right to create our own processes of leadership and
accountability. There is no Line or Ideology handed down on high. So I
continued my work in the Outreach Committee as I have many contacts in
the Immigration Rights, Dream Act, Native American and Latino
communities. Today I just found out that this group of self appointed
leaders created a new Outreach Working Group, without input or
decisions from the General Assembly. With new admins appointed by her,
including Samuel Molik. I can send copies of correspondence  from me
to this group for further documentation. Roberto Mendoza             918-408-9127    

Dear folks of color,

After an alarming Security report about increase of violence (the "shoelace" report on racist skinhead groups!*&(*&!) as well as the report byJaraner@s Harassed at OWS, and reports of sexual  harassment, and after an incident of racism/discrimination/intimidation I encountered--- i think it is urgent to pass an anti-racist Code of Conduct, address these issues at Safer Spaces Committee----also attempts at censoring others or silencing as also forms of racism that need to be addressed. So if there are sisters and brothers here, who can help to set up a protocol, please come to the meeting below.

Here is an email from Mathew Presto inviting member here for input.

I've been involved with the Safer Spaces Committee and we've been working hard to implement a Community Agreement and Accountability Process. We were going to begin discussing the agreement at the GA last night but had to cancel it due to the craziness with cleanup and whatnot. I'm hoping it can be con sensed upon shortly. We plan to specifically reach out to the People of Color Caucus and Women's Caucus for their input as to what should be included before presenting a final proposed version. (There are also members of each caucus involved with our committee.) I agree that structures need to be put in place to deal with larger issues, and it'staking longer than we had hoped, but I'm hoping the current infrastructure for mediation can help with your particular issue.

Safer Spaces Committee is meeting on Sunday at 5.

And/or, if you have any ideas for what you'd like to see in a community agreement, I'd greatly appreciate your input.


Peace,
Shaista

Peace everyone,
I wanted to share an article with all of you on a womyn of color being
harassed at Wall Street. It touches a nerve with me because I have
been concerned for a long time that this movement is failing to
address patriarchy and white supremacy as part of the larger picture
of why this country is the way it is with the inclusion of capitalism.
I would like to hope we are all making sure amongst ourselves we have
a safe space to check ourselves on our own internalized oppression
moving forward and make sure to keep our sisters of color safe as
well, as we bear the brunt of the burden in this country and globally:

The Value of a Safe Space: One WOC’s experience with harassment at Occupy Wall Street
By Ashwini Hardikar

Is Occupy Wall Street an inclusive movement? I’ve discussed this in-depth with so many of my friends, colleagues and comrades over the past weeks. It seemed to me that while almost everyone felt inspired by the movement, many were reluctant to directly participate. I read notes from meetings and blog posts where people discussed the unsettling elements of racism, sexism and queer/transphobia that
seemed to be present in so many of these “Occupy” spaces across the country. And at Occupy Wall Street on Indigenous People’s Resistance Day, I unfortunately came face to face with some of these elements myself. Walking with my friend M, we greeted old friends, took pictures of signs, and discussed (unsuccessfully) what kind of clever slogan we could come up with as teachers. We circled back around to the entrance, and I stood there trying to read a sign someone had posted about “ground rules” for the space. I felt an arm circle me tightly around the waist, and then a hand grabbing and squeezing my hip roughly. I quickly disentangled myself, turned, and saw a white man, probably in his late 30s, looking very pleased with himself. And I went off.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing? You can’t just touch people without their permission. It’s not ok to be in someone’s personal space if you haven’t gotten their consent. I have no idea who you are, you can’t just touch me!” I was yelling, getting louder and louder. I wondered if anyone was listening.

“I was just giving you a hug. I’m not allowed to give people hugs?” I couldn't believe he was arguing with me. My heart was racing. All those other times that I had been harassed or groped, and it happen
ed so quickly by a faceless assailant, or when I just felt paralyzed, flashed through my mind. All those times that I didn’t feel like I had a voice. This time, I had found mine somehow.

“No, you are not allowed to touch people if they haven’t asked you to. You’re giving this movement a bad name right now because you are going around and violating others’ space, and it makes people feel unsafe.” My voice sounded clear and very strong, even though I was shaking. Wow, I thought to myself, I know exactly what to say for once!

The man continued to argue with me. I finally told him, “I don’t want to discuss this anymore. You think about it.” He asked me one last time if he could give me a hug. “NO!” I screamed, and walked away.
As we walked, I told M I felt a bit shaken up, but that at the same time I felt empowered, and that I hoped that others had witnessed what had happened and how I responded. “You were on a roll!” M said. She gave me a (MOST WELCOME) hug and told me how proud she was of me. I hoped that my pulse would slow shortly. I thought about how ironic it was that a huge part of why I felt shaken was that I had spoken out, that I had been the center of attention loudly calling someone out. Sometimes, speaking out and not ignoring it, is the most difficult part.

We walked on further. We came across a young person chanting, “Lady Liberty is a whore!” I almost walked past him, but then I stopped. “What do you think calling someone a whore is accomplishing?” The youth was defensive and didn't really take my question seriously, but the man standing next to him thanked me for asking him that. Less than 10 minutes and two misogynistic incidents in a row. I said to M, “Wow, we’ve had a lot of crazy things said to recently, huh?” Yes, we had. The night before, we heard a group of youth yell “You fucking gook” while telling a story as we were exiting the subway. As we walked up the subway exit stairs, two men leered, “Look at this thick ass Asian girl.” Less than 24 hours, and at least 4 incidents of sexism, racism and misogyny towards women of color
directed towards me and my friend.

More stories began running through my mind from the not-so-distant past. A relative, the day before, telling me that her older white male landlord told her she had a “nice butt.” Another relative experiencing dating violence from a classmate. Women, queer and trans friends recounting that particular day’s outrageous act of interpersonal violence. My own frequent reluctance to make eye contact on
the street. So maybe this weekend wasn't that much of an anomaly afterall.

And here I was, at Occupy Wall Street, a space where people were supposedly confronting and resoundingly denouncing oppression of all kinds. I wondered why no one in the crowd of people who had seen what had happened besides M came over to me and asked me if I was okay. I wondered if anyone spoke with the man later and backed me up by denouncing his actions in a forthright manner.

The Occupy movement is inspiring for the very reason that it is an umbrella for people who believe in envisioning and constructing a different kind of world, one where justice is pursued through radically caring means. And in this world, all kinds of violence must never be excused. Within the spaces we are “occupying” at the moment, we need to be conscious of the traumas so many of us have experienced in our lives.  Our interactions with one another must come from a place of understanding that as we build community with one another, we cannot make assumptions about what types of interactions will be welcome or wanted.For women and queer and trans people of color especially, interpersonal violence has historically been intertwined with institutional violence, and the way in which we move through the world is informed by these histories and experiences. In order for the Occupy movements to be truly inclusive, they must also be safe. This will not be an easy process, but it’s one that everyone can be a part of.
Call out the violence, the harassment, the racist and queer/transphobic comments, the exclusion of people of color, queer and trans folks, and women from decision-making. Check in with those you witness being harassed, and see what kind of support they may want from you. Discuss problematic racial and gender dynamics in the space without being defensive. And then, let’s check ourselves in the process too.

Editor’s note:  Because of the prevalence of experiences like the ones Ashwini has described here, a group of people started the Safer Spaces Working Group at Occupy Wall Street in NYC.  Contact saferspaceows@gmail.com
for more information, and look for people wearing pink armbands in Liberty Square for support.

Racism being fought within the OccupyWallStreet Movement: Philly- a case in poin


BLACK OUT! At Occupy Philadelphia

We had a Black Out! at Occupy Philadelphia. Why? Saturday,  two sisters were called Niggers by two of the volunteers at Occupy Philadelphia at the cell-phone charging stations.  They were also told to go back to Africa, and that each white man should own a slave. When the sista’s called security, security asked them to leave the premises because they thought they were apart of the UHURU movement.  Even if they were a part of that movement, they should not have been asked to leave. Especially  without any mention of their verbal and spiritual abuse. So a small collective formed a drummer’s circle on Sunday and started a rally, only to be met with on-lookers who didn't understand why there was a Pan-African flag at an “American” event.  We were called racist.  Many of the people there to support Occupy Philadelphia came to us to tell us that all of us are people and that race is behind us! They told us that we were being divisive. Bullshit.

When we circled up to come up with a constructive way to address the people, we were constantly interrupted by white people who could not respect our safe space. These people said that it was a public space, and we couldn't have a group that excuded them. Why is it when black people want to get together to work out our issues in our community we are called out? Sadly, one of the black women who came up to our group suggested we move to another location away from city hall, since we were having a private group. What?!!

When we wanted to address the people at the people’s assembly, we had to beg to get a spot on the program.  They wanted us to wait until afterwards and get on the open mic.  Also, we had  two people come up to the group and ask if we were going to be violent.  Why would be violent?? Because we are black? We eventually told the gate-keepers that we were going to be given the mic, or we were going to take the mic. We eventually got our spot. As the sister was talking about her experience, there were some members in support, and there were even members who came up to us afterwards to show support. But many of the people were asking us to hurry up, calm down and finish. One white guy used signals to get us to hurry up. We spoke out about RACISM IN THE 99 percent.We spoke out about how nobody was talking about the racist foundation of corporate greed. How do we talk about classim without taking about racism? American wealth can not be discussed without mention of free African slave labor, the rice, tobacco, sugar and cotton industry. We were called racist because we empowered ourselves and stood up for what was right.

This is not an original post by me I copied it from Black New Yorkers for Educational Excellence  this a group that I have membership in and this needs to be shared!
